[QUOTE="kinem, post: 5512058, member: 24234"] [COLOR="Plum"]"We should have expected that"[/COLOR] Fuller declares. After a long flight into the woods, with no sign that you have been followed, the party makes camp in a small clearing. Fuller spends a long time in prayer, while many of the others take the opportunity to do some training. And indeed, recent events have given you much exposure to fighting styles and skills, magic, and creatures that you have rarely or never before encountered. Girgal examines the plants and small animals in the forest, noting subtle differences compared to the ones he is used to. Finally, it is time to camp for the night. You set the usual watches. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ You are in a hot desert, even though the sun is low on the horizon. Are you dreaming? In the distance you see large pyramids. From that direction a speck in the air approaches, grows larger - it is a man standing on what looks like a flying rug. The man approaches, instructing his rug to land. His skin is dark brown, and his robes and turban light brown. His eyes and long beard are jet black. You try to greet him, but you can't speak. [COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]"You bear my dagger"[/COLOR] he says. [COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]"Trust it. But be careful, for this is the very last time I can help you. I serve Time, while the enemy serves Entropy. Any direct action by me risks drawing the eye of Orcus, lord of Entropy, directly to you. You were fortunate that the enemy was away at the war front. That may not last. You must let the dagger guide you to the Soul Gem of Thanatos. It will know what to do. Once the gem is defeated, the enemy will become mortal. Perhaps then you could defeat him, but he will still be very powerful. Incidently, though the secrets to the gem are lost to your time, there is a simple spell which is derived from similar principles. A wizard may thus transfer his soul to another body, by way of a magic jar in the form of a gem, while his own body would appear dead. Good luck. Hrollan!"[/COLOR] he says to his rug, and it takes off. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Thoughts and images seem to flash before your eyes. -------------------------------------------------------------------- It is morning. On the ground in the middle of the clearing is an intricately made 10' square carpet - the same one you saw in the 'dream'. ooc: Level up! [/QUOTE]
